#179674 — April's fool

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi guys,

I admin a server with some 80 users (students) and tomorrow is april's fool.

Now, help me out...

What is a "reversible" prank I could play?

* It should be easy to make it working in some minutes (half an hour of
configuration at most).
* It should be harmless and reversible (of course)
* It should last the whole day, people trying to figure that out.

As I am a professor, and the class just got a warning they were not
studying hard enough, I can say something like It was a punishment for
their laziness, so I have a "cover up" story that can scary them for sure.

What are your suggestions?

Thanks for playing.

My best,
Bèco.

PS. None of them are subscribed to this list! ;)
